Enjoy Believe Achieve Inspiring Lifelong Learning Issue 231 11th September 2020 Pupils of the week Every week, teachers nominate one child from their class to be Pupil of the Week. Children receive a certificate and prize when we celebrate their success together during our online celebration assembly. We have decided that EVERYONE deserves to be a Pupil of the Week this week! You have been amazing, children - well done! Home discussion question Stan asked… What have you enjoyed most about this week? Welcome back! It has been so exciting seeing everyone back together again after being apart for so long. It’s been lovely to welcome new children into our Roseberry family. Well done to everyone for being so very brave entering your new classes and to our EYFS children who have amazed us with how quickly they have settled. Everyone has adapted well to our ‘bubbles’ and the new procedures and routines we have in place. I am delighted that our system for dropping off and collecting children now seems to be working - thank you to everyone who has made this possible by following our plan, arriving at the right time! Thanks, too, for your understanding as we have tweaked the plan throughout the week. We are dealing with a unique situation, constantly assessing what works well and what needs to change to keep everyone safe. We have also welcomed some new staff into our happy family - our new teachers Mrs Meadows and Miss Lindo, and our new Midday Supervisory Assistant, Miss Capes. I have been very impressed, indeed, with the behaviour and attitudes to learning I have seen as I have walked around school this week and have a feeling this is going to be a brilliant year! Mrs Channing School meals Our school meals are scrumptious! If you would like your child to have a school meal, please contact the school office. The office staff need notice of one week if you wish for your child to move from packed lunch to school meals or vice versa. If you think you may be eligible to claim free school meals, please contact the office. Even if your child is in EYFS, Y1 or Y2 and receives Universal Free School meals, it’s still important that you let us know if you think you are eligible to claim, as this will enable us to access funding from the Government for your child’s education. If you pay for school meals, please do so via ParentPay. Log in information for parents of children who are new to our school should have been received this week. Please note that if you get into debt with payments, you will be asked to provide a packed lunch for your child until the debt is cleared. A message from Mrs Murton, our Leader of Learning I love my role of ‘Leader of Learning’ as it enables me to work with children, staff and parents to help children to make progress in many areas of the curriculum. I am always happy to offer parents advice, ideas and activities to support children’s learning at home. If there are any areas of learning which you feel would be beneficial for me to focus upon, either on a one to one basis or by running an online parents’ learning workshop, I would love to hear from you.
